For privacy reasons, I am not showing my real face or name here. You will see me as my Second Life persona, Aggi, but I keep most of my SL themed posts to PrimFeed.. For those that may have met me in real life, please accept this hint about who I am in the form of my shoulder dragon, Maxwell.
A redhaired elf woman in a teal floral shirt smirks mischievously at the camera. A small stuffed animal in the shape of a dragon, designed to be just big enough to sit comfortably on your shoulder (or in this case, on the back of a light blue antique chair). The fabric he is made from looks like grey mottled stone, with a dark grey underbelly. He has embroidered fabric wings and a lighter grey horns, and dark grey spikes along his spine. His big beady eyes make him look adorable.

Loving the new art from one of my patreon memberships that arrived in the mail! @dreadpiratebri.bsky.social
a postcard sized piece of art sits on a tiny easel on a very large bookshelf with a bizarre assortment of books. The art is fantasy themed, a whimsical, art nouveau-esque image of an elven woman wearing a long, purple gown, framed by tree branches. It is very soothing to look at.

Any dollhouse miniaturists on Bsky? Anyone?
I'm going through my UFPs and finishing what I can with what I have left of my stash. Very pleased with how this lantern turned out.
a one inch scale, 6 inch tall golden staff with swirling vines wrapped around it. A glass and copper lantern hangs from a branch extending from the top. It has a very elven feel to it. There is an actual bulb inside the lantern that lights up by means of a wire running through the staff to the bottom, where it connects to a coin cell battery. There is a also a penny for scale. It is laying on graph paper of one inch squares, divided into quarters.

A little Cheshire Smile on a gloomy day. @fridaytea.com
A view of the interior of a turquoise mug sits on a counter, next to a baking rack with freshly made crackers demanding to be eaten. The tea inside the mug is a deep shade of purple, and bubbles are still swirling about from its recent stirring.

Sailing lesson season in #Seattle is always a wild time.
a photo of Elliott Bay in Seattle, with cloudy skies creeping close. Some buildings line the lower part of the photo, but out on the water are dozens of small sailboats, crowding each other awkwardly. They all seem to be attempting to make a U turn around around a red buoy that's been placed in the water.

I recently learned that amazon pays KU authors by the number of pages read, and now I feel bad because I always skipped the previews for the next book at the end. Now I've been trying to skim so all the pages get 'read.' I will either read the next book or I won't, a preview means nothing!

Merritt's Tale is fully posted! #SecondLife #AO3 #writing

archiveofourown.org/series/4795180
What do you do when your rescue mission runs into another rescue mission at the same facility? A tale set in Second Life.

I am not apologizing about the Ghostbusters sequence.
A faux book cover. At the top it reads 'One Lucky Elf Press.' Please note this is also a made up company. The title reads: 'Merritt's Tale' There is a little blurb reading: "Our rescue mission has us tangling with the oldest elf in the universe. at the bottom it says 'A Portmasters of Linden Short Story by Robin Sharpe.' The cover image is of an elven man, with coppery brown hair, age lines, a serious expression on his face. He is dressed in futuristic clothing and has magical energy lines rising up from one hand. He is carrying a heavy case in the other hand, and standing in a darkened industrial hallway with red emergency lights blinking. I made this image using items purchased within the virtual reality world of Second Life. The hair is Dura-098 The head is Lelutka Quinn The face is Tommie by Pumen's The Collar and sleeveless cloak are by Meva The BOM bodysuit by Cureless The magic effect is by Starlight Designs - the Frosty Hand aura.

Writing Rowan's Tale took 1.5 years, so I was surprised when Merritt's Tale only took 6 months.

Ch 4 is now up on Ao3. I am not apologizing for the number of Ghostbusters quotes. Story set in #SecondLife

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Bought these potion bottle earrings for my Yzma cosplay right before we left NorWesCon last year.
Thought: "Oh, I have a whole year to make labels for it."
*Makes the labels the day before the next Norwescon starts*
Two tiny glass potion bottles with corks, attached to earring hooks. The bottles are filled with a sparkly layered pink *potion* (I HOPE it's not liquied because one is cracked). They both sport a purposefully crooked label, not with the expected skull/llama logo from the 'Emperor's New Groove' movie, but with a similar design of a side view of a dragon. It was made to match the plush shoulder dragon I take to conventions. That dragon will be wearing kronk's hat and a chestplate that looks like his outfit. It's weird, but I reduced two women to helpless giggles in the ten minutes I ran around the con floor before leaving, and I intend to double that this year.
